Inhibition of cGMP‐Signalling Rescues Retinal Ganglion Cells From Axotomy‐Induced Degeneration
Retinal ganglion cell (RGC) axons are myelinated only beyond the lamina cribrosa, that is, when leaving the eye. Axotomy‐induced RGC degeneration is likely to be related to excessive nitric oxide (NO) production, leading to an over‐production of cGMP, over‐activation of protein kinase G (PKG) and excessive phosphorylation of target proteins, such as ...

Interrogating stonefish venom: small molecules present in envenomation caused by Synanceia spp.
Molecular analysis of Synanceia horrida (ShV) and S. verrucosa (SvV) venoms identified three small molecules new to stonefish venom: Gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA), choline, and 0‐acetylcholine. Analysis on human nicotinic acetylcholine (nAChRs) and GABAA receptors showed activation of neuronal (α7) and adult muscle‐type (α1β1δε) nAChRs by ShV, while ...

Hidden Armour: The Passive Protective Function of Caudal Osteoderms in Snakes
Well‐developed caudal osteoderms were discovered in shield‐tailed snakes (Uropeltidae). Dermal armour at the tail tip likely provides passive protection against predators, though roles in locomotion or phragmosis cannot be excluded. Our findings emphasise the functional and evolutionary versatility of osteoderms and highlight the need for further ...
